Limericks

Humorous 5-line verse w/ anapestic lines, L1, L2, and L5 trimeter, L3 and L4 dimeter.

A poet was scribbling and wishing
to write his adventures with fishing
He reeled in a trout,
asked, “what’s that about?”
and discovered his muse had gone missing


May's husband was known as a cheater,
though he bragged that he never beat her.
She said "That's enough,
there'll be no more fluff.",
then left with a guy she called Skeeter.

I am reading a book full of laughter
it gets me through looming disasters.
While sometimes I'm sad
and can even get mad,
I'll continue to laugh ever after
